About Blue Alliance

Blue Alliance manages and finances large-scale Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in some of the most biodiverse places on earth to ensure their long-term conservation and livelihood benefits. We operate under long-term delegated management agreements with governments to implement state-of-the-art conservation, compliance and resource management practices, ensuring regeneration of marine life and improving the food security and livelihoods of coastal communities. Blue Alliance has developed a self-sustaining model for managing large MPAs by establishing Blue Economy social enterprises that positively impact coral reefs. These enterprises, owned by Blue Alliance, help alleviate poverty and reinvest all profits into MPAs. In this context, Blue Alliance established Aquahub Philippines Corporation, focused on the farming and commercialization of sea cucumbersand mangrove crabs. 

Blue Alliance currently oversees 3.4 million hectares of coral reef ecosystems across MPAs in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Tanzania. By integrating conservation with Reef-Positive Businesses, Blue Alliance is pioneering a financially sustainable model for marine conservation. The model is scalable. Blue Alliance aims to directly manage 9,000,000 hectares of large MPAs by 2030, thereby regenerating entire marine ecosystems.
